Hot Wheels Road Trip

Ride along on the Hot Wheels car as it travels through 8 different track sections all connected by teleporting tunnels. From the backyard to the big hill to the pool and back, this track’s got it all.

Each section worked on its own from tunnel to tunnel. The cart is powered entirely by gravity at all times.

In total there are 11 cuts in the video, 7 between locations and 4 for slow motion footage. The jump section and the loop section were filmed twice, once in 30 fps and again in 120 fps, and the final video cuts from the normal speed footage to the slow motion footage for the duration of both the jump and the loop.

The cart worked reasonably well underwater and only fell off the pool track a few times. The main problem with the pool track was keeping the track connected and in place. A rock was attached to the end of the track in order to weigh it down.

In total about 200 feet of track was used, nearly all of which is present in the 4th section. Filmed with a GoPro Hero4 Session mounted on a modified 2014 Pharadox car. Filmed in California and Colorado.

This is what YouTube is all about. Just random awesome videos. I'm getting bored of watching drama and news here all the time.

THIS IS SICK! I like how you used the tubes to transition to other places. And the end, PERFECT.

This is what literally every 6 year old wanted to do, including me of course.

At 1:15, when the car goes underwater, the end of the track looks like it's loading as you get closer, just like in old futuristic racing games

[TheVarietyGuyTV]

This was crazy! You guys did a great job editing the camera cuts to make the transitions flawless! The pool track, ramp and loop were all awesome! This is one of your best videos yet!!!
